1. My escape was horrible because I had to trick them that I need to go to the store.And then I went and they said were I was and then they tried to get me.I felt so sad because I had to lie to the people.And that is how I was a slave. That was the worst thing I had to do.:) :):):):):) :):):)

2. I decided to flee slavery because I was doing hard work for absolutely nothing. In other words, I didn’t get paid at all. No money, no food, not even a pat on the back(which would still probably be too little)!!! As soon as I left, I traveled by running as fast as I could until I felt pretty safe. I usually traveled by foot the whole way. I eventually found my way because I lived closer to the North than you’d expect. I survived only because I had stolen my master’s knife because I knew I would need it. Fortunately, there were many, many pigs along the way, so that meant plenty of food. And finally, to tell you the truth, I felt horrified the whole way there.

3. My escape was horrible I had to steal a gun and a knife untill I finally escaped and took the masters horse and some of the food for the way.I was excited to escape and a new life.Unfortunatly, the whole escape I felt happy to start a new life.😃😀😄😊

4. I decided to run away was because it is had to be a slave, and you get treated like a pet. I would run and run and never look back, and probably have a safe place to stay for the night and then…keep on running!!!! I

5. My escape would have been horrible because. I’d had to work on the most easyest place to catch me so what I would do. Is go at night pretend to use the restroom. and what i would do is RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN I ran like the speed of cell even sonic couldn’t keep up with me. SO after I had to knock out a white man so he doesn’t see me. and then I took a boat to Canada and I arrived to Canada. (THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY) 😀 enjoy.

7. My escape was terrible, I needed to steal some food and blankets and I had to steal my master’s horse. So it was late and dark and I was getting ready to flee, so I sneaked out and followed the North Star.

8. Sorry I put enter….. So like I was saying I would survive by getting my masters knife of something sharp!!!! Because I would really need it. Before I escape I would feel really, really sad and hopeless, but after I did escape I would fell… happy and that I could have a new life to start over!!!!!!! And yes I did escape just because of how smart I am… and that I got the knife and the people how helped me.

9. My name is Corki . I was born a slave and was separated from my family. This is the story of when I escaped the south. I decided to flee because I missed my family.I traveled by following the north star to be sure I was heading north. I survived by grabbing food wherever I could find it. I felt alive for the first time in my entire life. 👍✌ 🙂 :)) (☆^ー^☆)

10. My name is Amelia. I was captured from the North when I was 15; I was the only family member to get captured. This is my slave story I had been mistreated constantly by my master, so I decided to flee. The underground railroad lead me to the North. The only reason I survived was the houses I hid in gave me food, water, shelter, and health. I never felt more free my entire life. 🙂
